Summary
25% of physicians will experience divorce. We get questions on the podcast and blog from doctors going through divorce frequently but we have little experience with it. People want answers from those who have lived through it. Our guest in this episode, Dr. George Hwang presented at the WCI Conference 2021 https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/cfe2021 about how you can survive and thrive as a divorced doctor. We get into the nitty gritty details of financial planning and divorce in this interview. It can be complex and divorce is not something people like to talk about. It is expensive and will greatly affect your financial planning. If you are in that 25% of physicians, this episode will answer many of your questions from attorney costs, mediation, child support, alimony, to valuing your assets, dividing them up equitably, and reevaluating your financial plan for the future. Listen to the episode then go complete these financial chores if you are divorced https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/financial-chores-to-complete-after-divorce/
